Beastars season 3, part 2 is set to bring Netflix's hit anime to an exciting, animalistic end. But when is it (finally) getting here and what could we expect?

Below, you'll find all the latest on the Beastars season 3 release date, the latest news, and where we expect the story of Legoshi and Haru to go next.

Beastars season 3, part 2 is set for "early" 2025, which we take to mean any time from now until April. The first part was released in December.

"A world of impending danger awaits Legoshi as the final chapter begins," began Netflix's initial announcement on the final season.

Beastars season 3, then, will pick up from where the second season left off, with Riz unmasked as Tem's killer and Legoshi managing to get his carnivore instincts somewhat under control – as evidenced by only chomping off Louis' leg (trust us, it makes sense).

With Riz in custody, Legoshi admits to Haru that he wants to leave Cherryton and see more of the world, as well as continuing his carnivore training under Gouhin. It's not clear, though, whether Legoshi and Haru's relationship will survive the changes – especially considering the latter’s half-joking declaration that she’ll have to find a new boyfriend.

The new season will also adapt (at least loosely) chapters 100-196 of Paru Itagaki's manga. That encompasses two major arcs: The Interspecies Relations arc and the Revenge of the Love Failure arc.

Not to dive too much into spoiler territory, but the Interspecies Relations arc (chapters 100-123) deals with the next chapter in Legoshi's life, while Revenge of the Love Failure (chapters 124-196) fully introduces a new villain, Melon, and wraps up the story in Cherryton between Legoshi and Haru, though the anime hasn’t yet adapted much of Legoshi's backstory. Expect that to show up in some form in one of the final two parts.

Is Beastars season 3 the final season?

Yes, Beastars season 3 is the final season – as revealed by Netflix in March. It continues a surprisingly extensive trend of popular shows reaching the end of their runs.

The Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy will adapt the end of Tanjiro's story in the near future and My Hero Academia's final season airs in 2025. Over in the manga world, Jujutsu Kaisen also came to a close earlier this year, while Attack on Titan's anime reached its conclusion in 2023.

"I want this world to be a place where Haru can feel safe," Legoshi began in the first teaser trailer for Beastars season 3. Unfortunately, given the sudden jump scare of Louis' foot, it appears that the wolf's own hunger needs to be quelled before he can do anything about the love of his life.

The trailer, then, provides a quick snapshot of what to expect from the final season – as well as some possible closure on Legoshi and Haru's relationship, and more adventures from those at Cherryton Academy. There's even a quick glimpse of Legoshi's grandfather, Gosha.

The new trailer, which you can see above, follows much of the same story beats, but puts a renewed focus on new series villain Melon.

The Beastars season 3 cast hasn't been fully confirmed, though we know Legoshi (Chikahiro Kobayashi/Jonah Scott) and Haru (Sayaka Senbongi/Lara Jill Miller) will definitely return, and Louis (Yuki Ono/Griffin Puatu) won't be far behind.

Among the new arrivals are Komodo dragon Gosha (Shigeru Chiba), his former horse partner Yahya (Shin-ichiro Miki), seal Sagwan (Tessho Genda), sheep Seven (Fumiko Orikasa), and "mysterious beast" Melon (Koji Okino).

Studio Orange are back on animation duties, as is series director Shinichi Matsumi.
